Free Concord’s Garret on Peace Love Liberty Radio

2012_12_17_peacellradioGarret Ean of freeconcord.org was featured as a guest on the final three segments of the December 9 episode of Peace Love Liberty Radio. PLLR broadcasts Sundays on LRM.FM live from Keene between the hours of 3 and 5pm, and the program is hosted by Darryl W. Perry.

Why Are Feds Giving Off-the-record Speeches?

Dave Ridley yesterday uploaded one of his most intriguing camera-ban videos. Aaron Snipe, spokesman for the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, on October 9 delivered a speech at the UNH Manchester campus. Snipe is a graduate of Emerson College in Boston and it appears has been going on speaking tours for the federal government for the past few years. Early in the video, we see a poster advertising the event entitled, “US Policy in the Middle East”. At the bottom is printed, “Free and Open to the Public”. Despite this, Ridley is told by an event organizer that he would not be allowed to audio or video record the event, but that he was free to attend and take notes.

The video ends with an ambush interview of Snipe as he walks from the hallway into the venue. Snipe enters with another man in a suit and carrying a satchel, allowing him to keep his hands free. When Ridley asks why recording is banned from the evening’s engagement, Snipe appears confused, and his presumed assistant replies, “Why is he off-the-record? It’s just because that’s the ground rules we set, thank you.” (more…)

NewHampshire.com Begins Series on Free State Project

Here’s the first, lengthy piece in a series from NewHampshire.com, which features Free State Project participant and two-time elected state representative Mark Warden:

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series that will explore the Free State Project. This week, we look at who Free Staters are and why they choose to live in New Hampshire.

It is a movement that began outside of New Hampshire by a group of people who describe themselves as “pro-liberty activists,” and in 2003 they made the decision to call New Hampshire their home. (more…)

Palmer MA’s Cameraman Arrest Case in Shambles

This is part two of my recollection of what happened at Palmer District Court yesterday morning. Part one, which covers court security’s outrageous response to camera-toting activists, is here.

As you may be aware, I was arrested for video recording in Palmer, MA’s town hall back in October. At the time, I was given a report from the arresting officer, Raymond Tenczar, indicating he believed I was guilty of “disorderly conduct” for allegedly loudly causing a “disturbance” outside of the room in which the city was going to hold a tax sale. If you watch the video of the arrest, you’ll see that I do raise my voice, but only at the time Tenczar places his hand on me to arrest me.

Apparently, the Palmer police and/or prosecutor realized that they had no case for disorderly conduct, and the misdemeanor charge was dropped. More detail on the charge droppage later in this article.

However, they completely changed the circumstances of the charge and the evidence in their case for the remaining town ordinance “disorderly conduct” violation. Now they are alleging that I was “disorderly” in front of the open house, which happened prior to the tax sale. In an unsigned report, allegedly written by Palmer police officer Sean M Ford, he claims I was yelling at the town attorney and attempting to intimidate him. (more…)
